I UPGRADED my KSP controller to the ULTIMATE! 

Didnt know you were a speedcuber? nice moyu 3x3 i think

​@@TomTinTin279 that cube is a.....cyclone boys 3×3!

Ahh cool, thought it was a moyu from its case

@mattlowne that watch that you have which one is it? I know it's a Samsung

@@TomTinTin279 Haha, keen eye! Yeah it's a Moyu Weilong WRM V9. I was super into cubing a few years ago and recently wanted to get back into it...turns out I've forgotten basically all the OLL and PLL algs so I'm back at an average of ~50 seconds. Gradually trying to improve my F2L and re-learning my OLLs and PLLs...decided for the headlights OLL I'm just gonna do Sune/Anti-Sune though because I remember *hating* that algorithm lol

Was about to say, it would've been better if the throttle could hold position but on second thought 0-100 is the kerbal way xD

For the price of the controller I shouldnt have to deal with kerbal jank, but its still really cool

I wonder if there’s an adjustment screw somewhere to tighten the lever.

@@melodic9920 He did say it was a "beta" part seemingly, so probably something that would be worked out before its actually available. But agree.

I was about to head to the website and check this out but that throttle lever is a hard pass, there is the knob but not the same, once the throttle lever is fixed consider mine bought

I think there is a mod "Control room" or something that gives you a control room as view. Combine that with smart things, or mech Jeb and you can basically program a complete automatic mission wich would be realistic

or doing SSTO in IVA only

Wow that must've been challenging

+hullcam

You'd almost definitely need a mod like MAS and its Astrogator integration (to get proper orbits from within IVA) but this definitely seems possible.

​@@JRexRegis actually, you can do very well on just IVA alone! a couple years back I did a Mun run in just IVA, as long as you keep track of the speeds required for each phase of the plan, you can do a landing and return without any extra info!

@@JRexRegis playing with it right now. without cams and MFDs, it is absolutely impossible to even dick in space

you could use a springy metal lever that pushes onto the bottom of the lever kinda like some RC controllers do it

using a foam shim seems like a fine solution. maybe you could use a teflon strip or other self lubricating materials wedged into the slot for a long term solution

You might be able to add a low to high gear ratio that spins a small piece of paper at a high speed when moving the trottle. You might also be able to backfeed into an electric motor. Or just fill the entire panel with thick sirup. As for the staying in place problem: A fluid head type mechanism might work. Chat gpt is fun: To prevent a throttle lever from moving on its own, several mechanisms can be employed: 1. **Friction Lock**: This mechanism involves a friction pad that can be tightened against the throttle lever, increasing the resistance to movement. This is common in many throttle control systems, especially in boats and aircraft. 2. **Detents**: These are small notches or grooves in which a spring-loaded pin or ball bearing can sit, creating a tactile "click" at specific throttle positions. The detents provide resistance that helps keep the lever in place. 3. **Spring-Loaded Mechanisms**: Springs can be used to apply constant pressure against the movement of the throttle lever, requiring deliberate force to change its position. 4. **Throttle Lock**: A throttle lock mechanism, often found on motorcycles, can be engaged to hold the throttle in a fixed position. This is typically a mechanical clamp or a friction-based device that holds the throttle grip or lever. 5. **Ratchet Mechanism**: This involves a ratcheting system where the throttle lever can move freely in one direction (increasing throttle) but requires a deliberate action to decrease throttle, thus preventing unintended movement. 6. **Tension Adjusters**: These allow for the adjustment of the internal tension within the throttle mechanism, increasing or decreasing the force required to move the lever. 7. **Electronic Systems**: In modern vehicles, electronic throttle control systems can be programmed to maintain a set throttle position, preventing unintended movement through electronic feedback and control. Each of these mechanisms can be used alone or in combination to ensure that a throttle lever remains in the desired position and does not move unintentionally due to vibrations, gravity, or other forces.

​@@JPJROBBO137true programmers would've programmed it in rust /s

One among many solutions is to have the lever be symetrical (or have a counterweight on the other side) so the CoM is at the center so it doesn't rotate by itself. Also adding some slight friction would make it feel really nice i can imagine! I've seen people using a felt pad to create this effect, or just using slight detents so the throttle has a number of "stages" between which you click when adjusting the throttle. If you get the number of detents right, it won't even hamper the functionality of a analog control while providing a satisfying click and holding force. Just my ideas to throw in, they might be too overengineered for this maybe :D

Even nasa knows to release pictures of cats with their spacecraft

cats are the best!

I scratched its chin just as it started to walk around the old housing! Accidental perfect timing!

Community Space Program

@@UnhorsedGoose Kommunity*

I thought that gamers would of already learnt that this wouldn’t work with a large scale game after Thrive

@dawsonsarcade7670 best source of copium remains gamers.

Well, Open Space Program is actually a thing

Yea, or put the controller video below the gameplay and end up with a not-wide-at-all 4/3ish aspect ratio

I was waiting for it to go tumbling, I'll be honest.

This is how we know for sure that Matt isn't Linus doing an English accent.

@@hadorstapa yes, it was an important distinction I needed to make because I was building it in a kitchen

I'm so glad I didn't notice! 🤣

Loved that game, but I was terrible at it. Stole my friend's version for several years. Never made it past like mission 4? lol

> with it's > with it is

This would honestly be incredible.

@@JRexRegis i think that there is a way to do this. I recall an older channel called HOC gaming doing way back in the day. Pre-1.0 KSP

Both actually! On newer units (like as of this video) users can choose between direct serial communication with the game or generic keyboard and joystick emulation. As an emulator it only functions as an output device, so things like the screen won't work, but at least it leaves the controls available for other games.

@Codapop_KSP That's pretty cool, I didn't think of switching between the two. It's nice that it is not only locked into Ksp. I would love to see how it worked on Star Citizen.

I want a real nav ball, but it'd have to have the prograde, normal, etc. indicators and I don't know how to do them. I'm sure it's possible, I've seen weird stuff like that done before, surprisingly long ago, but I don't know how.

Did that with EDA a few years ago :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ctOoojv1fI0.htmlsi=esHbb327pQ8WO7HB

That's very similar to what I'm trying. The only problem is it's very touchy. Sometimes the material can prevent the throttle from maxing out or bottoming out.

There's still a lot of prep that has to be done with each container, even though it arrives flat. I mostly just didn't really trust them to not get damaged in shipping. They're very solid once on the desk, but also quite heavy.

Thank you! A lot of people don't really know how much effort goes into creating something like this. I try to keep prices as low as possible, but at the end of the day it still has to be worth it for me to build. I think most people would be shocked to hear how low the profit margin is.

@@Codapop_KSP OMG answer from the man himself!!!

​@@Codapop_KSPcut the bs bro, at my workplace we got that kind of boards which are more complex, 175e. Your margin is probably +600e so stop lying man!

@@MrLahey-fc8cl 175 euros barely covers the acrylic for this setup. I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest in an injection molding setup or something. See LTT's videos about making the screw driver to see how much manufacturing engineering can cost, then realize he's hoping to sell millions of units to recoup the costs. The available market for Kerbal controllers isn't large enough to scale up like that. And then you also have to consider that each board takes 10-20 hours to build, which I'm not going to do for free.

@@Codapop_KSP so its about 175 plus ur working hours, so you make 50e per hour

I'm going to work on options asap!
